The Environmental Education Day Centres are maintained by Nottinghamshire County Council Local Authority (LA) for schools. Safety at the centres is managed by the Council’s Outdoor and Environmental Education team. By describing the standards of safety provided for schools by the Outdoor and Environmental Education team (OEE Team) and standards which visiting schools are recommended to provide for their pupils, it provides a quality assurance document for governors, headteachers, teachers, parents and pupils alike. Because the safety of visiting one of the centres is the joint responsibility of the OEE Team and the visiting school and other agencies responsible for the management of the site, this document makes clear the responsibilities of and provides codes of practice for all groups of staff. All support staff, visiting teachers and leaders should have access to, and be familiar with, these codes of practice. The document follows the recommendations and requirements of Nottinghamshire LA’s ‘Visits Guidance for Children and Young People’. Schools from other LAs should also follow their own LA’s policies in planning and undertaking their visit. Private schools should have their own policy . The risk assessments for all activities carried out at the centre is available on the internet at www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/outdooreducation and (for Nottinghamshire schools) on the Schools Portal website. In following this booklet, all concerned need to appreciate that no document of this nature can cover every possible set of circumstances. Safe educational experiences ultimately rely on the common sense and good judgement of teachers and other adults, while working within their own experience and capabilities. 4 The Environmental Education Day Centres Health & Safety Policy Statement The Outdoor and Environmental Education staff managing the day centres recognise their responsibility for giving effect to Nottinghamshire County Council’s safety policies for the protection of all centre staff, pupils, visiting teachers and members of the public liable to be affected by the operations and activities of the centres. Within the line management structure of Children, Families and Cultural Services, the Head of Centre or tutor based at the centre will manage the health and safety functions of the centre to prevent, so far as is reasonably practicable, injuries to any person as a result of the operation of the centre by provision of safe premises and equipment, and the effective management of the work activities over which the centre exercises control. This provision will be based on the principles of risk management and include any controls and protective equipment necessary for persons identified as being at risk. The Head of Centre/centre tutor will, so far as is reasonable to do so, ensure that staff designated with health and safety responsibilities are competent to carry these out. It is the duty of all centre and visiting staff to co-operate with the Head of Centre/centre tutor to ensure the safety of themselves, co-employees, pupils and other persons liable to be affected by their activities at work and to follow the operational procedures of the centre.

The caretaker/cleaner of each classroom/centre is responsible to his/her line manager for: • ensuring, so far as is reasonably practicable, the safety and health provisions and procedures affecting cleaning are adhered to. • cleaning materials and equipment liable to be a danger to pupils or staff are correctly used and properly stored when not in use. • all waste materials from the centre are disposed of in accordance with LA or site policy. • maintaining a high standard of housekeeping. • reporting to the Head of Centre/centre teacher or site staff any problem or imminent danger associated with his/her responsibilities as soon as it is practicable to do so. Safety Responsibilities of all Council Employees • As employees, all members of staff have a duty in law to work safely and not put other persons at risk, and also to co-operate with the centre staff and the LA to ensure that responsibilities placed upon them as employees are, so far as is necessary, complied with. 7 Safety Responsibilities of Visiting Schools Through the management of the teacher leading the visit, the visiting school is responsible for: • ensuring the visit leader, and other leaders if possible, attend a preparatory training meeting specific to the centre to be visited prior to the visit. • ensuring that all adults in charge of groups working independently are fully briefed by the visit leader in relevant aspects of health and safety including; fire and emergency procedures, organisation and planning of the visit. • in the absence of centre staff, taking responsibility for first aid provision and management of fire procedures and other emergencies (it is required that at least one trained first aider should accompany each independent group). • ensuring teachers and others who lead activities are sufficiently experienced and trained as appropriate to the activity. • planning a safe and appropriate programme which follows the advice and guidance provided by centre staff. • undertake a risk assessment for all areas of the visit under their control including the journey to the centre and any special needs of the group (the centre is responsible for risk assessments of the centre and activities provided

  • Advisory Visit Rivers Meden and Maun, Thoresby Estate
    Advisory Visit Rivers Meden and Maun, Thoresby Estate, Nottinghamshire January 2018 1.0 Introduction This report is the output of a site visit undertaken by Tim Jacklin of the Wild Trout Trust to the Rivers Meden and Maun on the Thoresby Estate, Nottinghamshire on 4th January, 2018. Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with Andrew Dobson (River Warden, Thoresby Estate) and Ryan Taylor (Environment Agency). Normal convention is applied throughout the report with respect to bank identification, i.e. the banks are designated left hand bank (LHB) or right hand bank (RHB) whilst looking downstream. 2.0 Catchment / Fishery Overview The River Meden rises to the north of Mansfield and flows east-north- eastwards through a largely rural catchment. The River Maun rises in the conurbation of Mansfield and flows north-eastwards past Ollerton to join the River Meden at Conjure Alders (SK6589872033). The rivers then separate again and re-join approximately 6km downstream near West Drayton (SK7027875118) to form the River Idle (a Trent tributary with its confluence at West Stockwith SK7896894718). Both rivers flow over a geology comprising sandstone with underlying coal measures and there is a history of extensive deep coal mining in the area. Table 1 gives a summary of data collected by the Environment Agency to assess the quality of the rivers for the Water Framework Directive. Both rivers appear to have a similar ecological quality and closer inspection of the categories which make up this assessment reveal that fish and invertebrates were both ‘high’ and ‘good’ for the Meden and Maun respectively in 2016.
